Thx a lot, checked integritym found a bad file, downloaded again and works as a charm, BTW 3d vision mode works almost perfect ( only tested a couple of minutes) the only little issue is a old one in previous spintires version, the UI is only showed in one eye, but adjusting convergence you can put in two eyes with minor glitches, not a big deal but probably if you tell Pavel, he knows how to fix it. (same issue was present in old spintires and fixed from a long time ago) :D
